Double evil in the business district

Xiao Yue returned to the company and immediately picked up the phone. His tone was hurried but calm: "Detective Liu, I need you to investigate someone immediately. I will send you the photos later. I want to know everything about him, the sooner the better." After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yue rubbed his aching temples, and a feeling of fatigue surged in his heart.

But she took a deep breath, suppressed her fatigue, and a gleam of determination flashed in her eyes.

She must get to the bottom of the truth!

She sat in the large office chair, tapping the table with her fingertips, again and again, as if beating the drumbeat of time.

The office was so quiet that the only sound was the ticking of the wall clock, and every second seemed as long as a century.

She anxiously awaited news from Detective Liu, hoping to clear the fog and uncover the truth.

"Mr. Xiao, have a cup of coffee." Secretary Zhou walked in with a cup of steaming hot coffee, a look of concern on his face. "You've been working for a long time, so make sure you rest."

Xiao Yue took the coffee and took a sip. The bitter taste spread across her tongue, but it seemed to clear her confused thoughts a little.

"Thank you." She smiled at Secretary Zhou, but there was still a hint of lingering anxiety in her eyes.

Just then, Detective Liu called. Xiao Yue answered the call immediately, and her heart beat faster involuntarily.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?"

On the other end of the phone, Detective Liu's voice was solemn: "Mr. Xiao, the situation is not optimistic. Mark seems to have noticed our investigation. The people around him have increased their vigilance. Many clues have been cut off. I..."

Xiao Yue frowned. Mark's reaction confirmed her guess. This matter was indeed not simple.

"I understand." She said firmly, "I will handle it myself."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yue immediately dialed Mark's number.

When the call was connected, she got straight to the point and said, "Mark, we need to talk."

Mark on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, with a hint of panic in his tone: "Mr. Xiao, is there anything I can help you with? I'm a little busy now..."

"Regarding you and that mysterious person," Xiao Yue said in a cold tone, leaving no room for doubt. "I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."

Mark was silent for a moment on the phone, but finally agreed to meet.

"Okay, Mr. Xiao, see you at the usual place tomorrow morning at ten o'clock."

After Xiao Yue hung up the phone, he immediately started to get busy.

She turned on the computer, pulled up the detailed information of Mark's company, and quickly browsed through every contract and financial statement.

Her eyes wandered across the screen, and her fingers quickly tapped the keyboard, organizing each suspicious clue into a document.

The office lamp on the table cast a soft light, shining on her focused profile, as if giving her a layer of resolute glow.

From time to time, she would draw on her notebook with a pen, and each stroke seemed particularly firm.

Secretary Zhou gently pushed open the office door and walked in with light steps.

There was a glint of admiration in her eyes, and her heart was filled with respect as she watched Xiao Yue work quickly and efficiently.

"Mr. Xiao, I have prepared all the information. Everything you need is here." Secretary Zhou put a stack of documents on the desk and said softly.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Yue raised his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a warm smile in his eyes.

She took the document, quickly flipped through a few pages, and after confirming that everything was correct, she nodded and said, "Let's meet at the old place tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. I will bring the evidence with me."

As the night deepened, Xiao Yue was the only one in the office.

She organized all the evidence into a folder and placed it on a corner of her desk, then stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

She walked to the French window, overlooking the brightly lit city, and a complex feeling welled up in her heart.

In fact, facing Mark's concealment and possible betrayal, she also felt a little worried, but more of it was firmness and determination.

The next morning, Shen Ting drove to the Xiao Enterprise Building. After getting out of the car, he walked quickly into the building.

When he saw Xiao Yue, he smiled slightly and reached out to hold her hand.

Xiao Yue felt the warmth of Shen Ting's palm, and her heart beat faster unconsciously. She looked up at Shen Ting, who looked at her with eyes full of protectiveness and said softly, "Yueyue, no matter what happens, I will be by your side."

The two drove to the agreed location, and the atmosphere in the car became increasingly tense.

Shen Ting's hand always held Xiao Yue's tightly, as if telling her that no matter what difficulties she faced, he would accompany her through it all.

A warm feeling surged in Xiao Yue's heart. She held Shen Ting's hand tightly, and her heart was filled with strength.

After arriving at the agreed location, Shen Ting parked the car, looked at Xiao Yue's determined face, and said softly, "Are you ready to face everything?"

Xiao Yue took a deep breath, Mark, I hope you won’t let me down.

"She opened the car door and walked towards the old place with firm steps, followed by Shen Ting.

At the door, Xiao Yue stopped, turned around and smiled at Shen Ting, and the two walked side by side into this unknown duel.

The door slowly closed behind them, and the whole room was shrouded in an inexplicable atmosphere of tension.

In the dimly lit coffee shop, low jazz music flows softly and the air is filled with the rich aroma of coffee.

Mark sat opposite Xiao Yue, tapping the table nervously with his fingertips, making a slight "tap tap" sound.

He forced himself to remain calm and made up a series of plausible excuses to try to explain his recent abnormal behavior.

Xiao Yue listened quietly, with a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he could see through all disguises.

She did not rush to expose Mark's lies, but followed up his words with questions, her tone gentle but sharp.

"So, your recent frequent business trips are all for the company's new projects?"

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Mark's forehead. He subconsciously tugged at his tie, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and he swallowed hard.

"Of course... Mr. Xiao, this is all for the development of the company."

"Oh? Really?" Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes falling on Mark's slightly trembling hands. "But I heard that the people you contacted didn't seem to have anything to do with our business."

Mark's face changed, his eyes flickered, and he stammered and couldn't speak.

He didn't expect that Xiao Yue actually had so much information. He originally thought he could get away with it easily, but now he found himself falling into her trap step by step.

"Mark, we have been working together for so long, I hope you can be honest with me." Xiao Yue's tone was still calm, but with an unquestionable majesty.

At this moment, Xiao Yue suddenly changed the subject and mentioned the mysterious person.

"How is your cooperation with that gentleman going?"

"Cough cough..." Mark coughed violently, his face turned pale in an instant, and he subconsciously clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white due to excessive force.

Xiao Yue took in Mark's reaction and was secretly delighted.

She calmly picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. The bitter coffee seemed to become sweet at this moment.

Shen Ting, who was sitting next to him, saw all of this.

His deep gaze fell on Xiao Yue. His Yueyue was indeed the best.

Mark took a deep breath, tried to control his emotions, and said calmly: "Mr. Xiao, I don't understand what you are talking about..."

Xiao Yue put down the coffee cup, looked directly at Mark, and said in a cold tone: “Mark, do you really want to continue to play dumb?”

Mark was silent. He bit his lips tightly, his face was ashen, and he was struggling inside.

He understood that he had no way out.

Xiao Yue stood up, picked up the folder on the table and handed it to Mark.

"Do you have anything else to explain about this?"

Mark took the folder tremblingly, opened the first page, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Now, we should have a good talk." Xiao Yue's voice echoed in the coffee shop, with a hint of determination and coldness.
